After Karin held back the members of the Star Seeking Brigade who appeared here for unknown reasons, Xia Ye rushed to the room where the emperor was with Keliya.

Since the enemy had already appeared inside the imperial city, the emperor might have been killed long ago - but even so, Keliya still planned to witness this ending.

If she didn't do this, she would probably regret it for the rest of her life.

"This is it... Sister Xia Ye!"

"Please step back first, there might be a trap here."

Compared to the anxious Keliya, Xia Ye still maintained the necessary calmness at this time.

Why did the enemy appear here - the Star Seeking Brigade might still be planning to use the dying emperor to do something.

Considering that the outside of the imperial capital is now surrounded by the Second Prince's army, the other party might be planning to take the opportunity to plunge the empire into chaos.

"Well... Sister Xia Ye, please."

And Keliya didn't really lose her mind. After she couldn't use her power, she was actually not as reckless as before.

But before the two of them officially entered the emperor's bedroom, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

"Wow, there are guests at this time, interesting."

The person who walked out of the bedroom was obviously not an official of the empire or the emperor's attendant.

Wearing a simple mask that completely covered his face and a strange uniform - this person's dress was very similar to the members of the Star Seeking Group he had seen before.

And his voice, which was obviously masculine, was also difficult to distinguish because of the mask.

"Who is it!"

"Oh? The woman who came here at this time must be the genius princess who practiced both magic and martial arts? I have heard of her for a long time."

Compared with Keliya, who could only question, Xia Ye's reaction was even more intense.

Her fingertips instantly released countless black silk threads, weaving a fine and imperceptible net around the mysterious man. And she quickly stepped forward and blocked Keliya with her body.

However, the other party did not react to this, as if he did not even bother to fight with them.

"But unfortunately, the emperor you are looking for just passed away."

"Could it be you--"

"No, I have no reason to send him off at this time. He just didn't make it, that's all."

Although she couldn't see the other party's face, the arrogant and playful tone had completely angered Claire.

This person is likely to be one of the masterminds-if he is let go here, more people will be hurt because of him later.

"Oh, by the way, in order to avoid misunderstanding, I have to explain one thing first-Armand VII was once a member of the Star Seeking Group."

"What..."

Is this a lie that the other party used to confuse people? No... In this case, there is no point in the other party telling such a lie.

But if what he said is true, then doesn't it mean that Armand VII is also one of the masterminds of this conspiracy?

"Twenty years ago, he and Maren Moti were both members of the Star Seekers... Can't believe it? Then take a look at this."

As he spoke, the mysterious man took out a strange little device from his pocket and threw it directly to Xia Ye who was standing in front of Keliya.

Aries, who was always vigilant, reached out to catch the thing thrown by the other party, and then found that it was a magic prop specially used for recording images.

"Even if what you said is true... so what?"

Since Keliya was still in shock, Xia Ye questioned the other party on her behalf.

However, the mysterious man wearing a mask just spread his hands casually, and seemed not to want to talk about it too much.

"You two ladies should leave here as soon as possible. The Star Seekers will soon overload the city's psychic pipelines and cause a disaster similar to a psychic explosion."

"Aren't you one of them? Why are you telling us this?"

"I do have some relationship with the Star Seekers - but I'm not one of them. The reason I followed them to the Empire was just to find out why Armand VII and Maren Moti betrayed them at the time... that's all."

Isn't this man a member of the Star Seekers?

But even if this is true, he must have done something shameful.

"I don't want to hear any explanation... Sister Xia Ye!"

"--Give up, Your Highness the Princess and this lady of the demon clan. With your current level, it's impossible for you to defeat me."

Xia Ye had already finished charging at this time - she originally planned to directly gather the silk thread and forcefully attack the opponent, and then use [Soul Capture] to search and readThe other party's memory.

But after the other party waved his hand lightly, the silk threads that had been woven into the array suddenly broke.

"I have no interest in the Star Child that the Star Seeking Brigade is looking for, and I don't want to get involved in the disputes within the empire... So today, please allow me to leave first."

Before Xia Ye rushed to the other party, the masked man waved his hand again. Then a strong spiritual power directly enveloped his body, making him disappear in front of the two people.

"Finally, let me introduce myself - I will eventually make this planet surrender and find a way for mankind to evolve... Then, I hope we will have a chance to see each other again in the future."

As the floating voice gradually faded away, the mysterious man disappeared with the spiritual power that dissipated like dust.

After seeing this incredible scene, Keliya and Xia Ye couldn't help but frown.

"Your Highness, the power of that person... is a little strange."

The man's strength did not seem to be very strong, but Xia Ye felt an indescribable strangeness from him.

It was a familiar and strange confusion, as if she had seen that person somewhere before.

"... Forget about him, let's go... to confirm the condition of the emperor."

Although Keliya was also puzzled by the mysterious man who suddenly ran out, she still did not forget what she should do.

That person said that the emperor was dead... I must go and see it with my own eyes.

...

After entering the emperor's bedroom, a solemn atmosphere enveloped Keliya.

In some vague memories, the emperor was very fond of her when she was a child-but this favor eventually attracted the jealousy of the two princes, leaving her with unforgettable scars.

But she was not actually the emperor's biological daughter.

"Father, I...see you."

At this time, there were no servants in the palace, and the man who once ruled the empire was lying quietly on a luxurious and spacious bed.

——He failed to take back power from the nobles, so no one saw him off when he died.

"Your Highness, here is a letter signed to you... There are some spiritual reactions on it, it is very likely written by the man just now."

But in the end, this not-so-great emperor still left some valuable information for his daughter.
